Ok girls I NEED your help

I NEED A JOBBBBBBBB

I was a real estate paralegal for 6 years. But I'm totally willing to do ANYTHING else. I'd rather do something other than law actually. Some shady crap that goes on and I just need anything at this point to bring in money. The wedding is almost 3 months away and I had to put a lot on hold b/c of this

Re: Ok girls I NEED your help

I don't have any suggestions..but just wanted to say I feel your pain. I'm a real estate paralegal and am pretty sure I won't have a job come the end of THIS month! We're hurting bad and most likely shutting down shop.

Your best bet is to get FAR away from the Real Estate Field..things are bad.

Did you try posting your resume on monster or career builder? Did you take a look at craigslist?

I've tried every single job website available. Including Indeed.com which searches them all in one shot. I've been on company websites, sending them directly. I've handed my resume out to family. My dads pimping me out in his building to different companies and NOTHING

Did you quit your current job or are you still there? Or were you laid off?

Re: Ok girls I NEED your help

check college websites. They are usually always looking for an admin assistant. Try NYIT, post, hofstra, suffulk cc, nassau cc.

There isn't anything here that I know of, but I only work in one department. good luck!

I work for the government (Social Security) and while I might not make what I could for the same job in the private sector there are a TON of other purks that come with a government job.

check out www.USAJOBS.gov and see what's available!

If nothing else they are secure jobs!

Dana I feel your pain. I don't do what you do but I am looking to get out of my job as well.

Good luck and if I come across anything I will be happy to share.

Re: Ok girls I NEED your help

the market for finding a job is very hard now. Even recruiters when you go to them dont really have much jobs to offer. It S*CKS now so definitely see what would be available first.

Posting your resume on monster.com can be good...i did this YEARS ago and i kept getting calls, now sure now what it would be like but its worth a try
